Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

Hi guys just wondering if you can help me out with a very basic problem I am having, and I am pretty sure it is probably something I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the AE here: http://wiki.oni2.net/AE , and the framework for MAC OS 10.5 http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html which is the OS I have now (10.5.7) and obviously I use the patch to run the game on my computer. So after initializing the framework and installing the AE with all the mods nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I put the AE in the "oni ƒ" folder. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the AE as well Mono. If it's of any help the patch that comes with the AE never does anything (it doesn't run or ask to select retail installation) so I just run the patch I normally use and it just runs the regular game, unchanged. Any ideas?

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

Recap:1) You put the Edition folder inside the Oni folder (try removing the ƒ from the folder name)2) Start up AE Installer inside the install folder (did it take a few minutes to globalize the files?)3) Was there a new GameDataFolder inside the Edition folder?4) Did you use the Oni program included in AE?5) The menu should say Anniversary Edition.

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

1) Yep thats what I did. I just removed ƒ to be sure

2) The first time it did globalize and then I installed all the mods and closed it.

3) Yes. There was only a gamedata folder after installation

4) No I did not. I just redid everything again and nothing happens if I use the program that came with the AE. The first time it asks to select retail install and I click yes like usual only this times nothing happens the prompt just goes away. Click it again and nothing happens.

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

? Sorry I have no idea what this means. The AE folder comes as "Edition-Mac" and you can either go to "Edition" or "__MACOSX" everything in "__MACOSX" is either folders and files or an app and an installer that does not work ("not supported by this architecture"). Everything in edition seems to be paralleled with a working installer and the OSX patch which does do anything unfortunately.

I don't know if this helps but I started from scratch again. After installing the AE nothing happens when I hit the icon to run Oni (the mac OSX patch). I couldn't get Oni to run unless I took out the AE folder.

Whaaaat??? The AE download is Edition-Mac.zip. The .zip file expands into an "Edition" folder, which is what you put in the Oni folder.

Which file gave the "not supported by this architecture" error?

Also, please upload your Install and Globalize.logs

For me it dowloads as Edition-Mac.zip which safari automatically expands to Edition-Mac and then goes as previously stated.

? Yep. I'm using mac. On the link posted I hit the link that says mac and it automatically unzips the file.

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

Safari's zip-expansion is whacked. I tried it myself just now, with "Open safe files after downloading" turned on, and it gave me the same thing you got. Well, that's totally nuts, because I used the built-in OS X zipping feature to make it in the first place. I'll have to see what I can do to avoid that with the next AE release.

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

Thanks for the input. Yeah it wasn't too hard, its just the instructions don't explain what folder they are referring to --> the AE or edition for short (it says something like that) confused me as to what folder. I guess it isn't unzipping perfectly but to any fellow mac users having problems unzip the file and look where it says edition or _macOSX take the edition folder out, place it in the oni folder and run the installer, it should work. The old containing folder is not of any use. Thanks again everyone.

Re: Help. Can't run the AE on my intel mac

Well, I'm not sure that I understand the full story of what went on here, but the main thing I learned is that if you use OS X's right-click menu to compress a file, it creates a .zip with hidden data that can badly confuse Windows and Unix. If you use any other method to make the file, such as the "zip" command in the Terminal, it generates a proper .zip file. I replaced the Edition-Mac file on the Depot with a new version that seems to work right, so hopefully the problem is solved.
